Twitter doesn't let you pin multiple tweets, or make a list of tweets (vs people). I'm doing so with this (pinned) tweet. Top level replies to this are categories / list titles; replies to *those* are links to the tweets I want to curate. Feel free to QT (not RT) & do the same.

I do widely varying public interest, non-profit work, often novel issues of #law (IANAL), with major disabilities, little funding (s.ai//donate), usually solo. If you could help (incl. editing, communicating, emotional support, etc.), LMK. Some of my recent work: 1/?

So… that's some of my recent ongoing work. There's more, e.g. * using ~85k Westlaw cases legally obtained for research drive.google.com/file/d/145U…, & millions more, to AI summarise/Shepardize, analyse factors in outcomes, etc * UK non-binary gender issues (have lawyers 💚) 10/?

* US & UK FOIA issues, e.g. systemic, empirical, litigable compliance audit * studying for solicitor exam (corporate, tax, & estate law I'll never do 🎉🙃) * applying to be a lay magistrate * teaching non-visual senses s.ai/ccc … etc. Y'know… the usual. 11/end

Random bad idea: RPG bayonets. (Also for US that could be called "an M1-affixed M1", which is silly. Thanks to Perun for that. youtube.com/watch?v=zY3RLn2V… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1 )

I say, well, I just called the terp company and they said you're lying, they have no such booking. They say that there's something weird in the booking system 🤷 maybe we'll call you tomorrow. That call gets cut off mid way because it's now 5:05pm. 10/

This just happened again, almost exactly identical, except it was at Spitalfield's audiology/ENT practice (via Communitas), and I haven't bothered to call the terp company again. If you know a good legal firm that handles such matters, please let me know.

Reportedly the Russian Supreme Court declared the "international LGBT movement" an "extremist organisation". I called their press office. They said it's a secret case, so the complaint, hearing, & decision are all sealed, but it's case # АКПИ23-990с: vsrf.ru/lk/practice/cases/11…

АКПИ = Апелляционная коллегия первой инстанции, board of appeal for the first instance -с [= English S] stands for "secret"

PS I tried to add the link above in the comments, but apparently @YouTube auto deletes those even when I'm linking to your video from another of yours. Seems rather overzealous to delete rather than giving a pre post error, and to ban links even to links on the same channel… 😕
